How do universities check whether or not we have actually done the projects that we have mentioned on our SOP and resume (for MS)?

I'll take a shot at this since many people seem to be interested.

The only projects that count significantly are those that your letter writers talk about. The small projects (example: calculators, banking applications, small websites, etc) do not significantly affect your application. Any routine implementation project will not impress a grad admissions committee.

Any significant project you have done will either result in a letter of recommendation, or will be at a reputed company. Open source projects will be available online.

The admissions committee trusts that you will not falsify information or commit fraud. If this is later discovered, you will be dropped from the program and legal consequences may arise.
